Lithium?
Tue, 04/12/2016 - 02:20Topic: Medication Issues
Hi Everyone!!! Does anyone know if lithium levels contribute to seizures? My lithium level is .05 when it should range from .6-1.6ish. I've read lithium is mainly used to treat bipolor disorder and depression but I also read in some cases it is used to treat epilepsy. My doctor has directed me to disregard all i read online but as we all know doctors don't always know best, with that being said. Has anyone tried lithium and what was the outcome?
